Glock 44. 20,000+ Rounds!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- After a year+ of shooting, over 20k rounds down range, testing every kind of ammo I could get my hands on and putting it in the hands of multiple different shooters, I'm pleased to report the Glock 44 is still going strong. I had high hopes for this .22 trainer as I had been wanting Glock to make it for years and my sample set of 1 most deffinitely has not disappointed. While there are better "plinkers" out there, if you're serious about becoming more proficient and considering a .22 trainer, this
is hands down my #1 pick. Almost always the first gun I put in the hands of new shooters or old shooters who are looking to improve. In time, I will shoot this gun to the point of failure and when I do ill be sure to give you guys an update.
Hope y'all enjoyed the video. Be sure to like, subscribe and share this video.

I will never understand why this gun got bad reviews when it first came out. I have 7500 total rounds through my G44. I keep it clean, oiled properly, and well maintained. When I shoot it I keep a narrative and stat range report on the ammo it shoots well, or not, or any gun related problems. I then roll it all up into an Excel spreadsheet to maintain consistency and accuracy. Shooting bulk ammo, I average one “possible” gun failure per 1000 rounds. In most cases, I think my thumb is riding the slide, which I tend to do on other guns. I have never had a failure with CCI ammo. So far, the only ammo it doesn’t like is subsonic and Norma Tac-22, which seemed like it was coated with molasses. Everything else has just “shot”.
Great vid, the G44 is a great 22, I love mine.
@Christian Constitutionalist got a 25 mag on mine
You both are terrific shots! That’s the only form of gun control I’m a proponent of. Good job.🇺🇸
5000 rounds on my G44 now. No issues.
It was ammo picky during the first 500 or so rounds, now it will shoot anything.
This one's at over 24k now. Still going strong. Thanks for watching.
@@n8sguntalk over 24k yet?
@@Lildoopdoop Haven't been shooting this much lately but I have almost 28K through it. I plan to do an update video when I hit 30K
@@n8sguntalkdo you still shoot the same one ? And how many rounds now 2 years later ?? I just got one a few weeks ago I can’t shoot much at all but I shot about 150 rounds thru it and it’s fun my favorite.22
@@Dazedfromtheduceduce I still have the same one but I don't shoot it very often. Round count currently is 28,775
Damn that lady can clear a malfunction. Color me impressed. You two are both great shooters, precise control. Very nice!
Nice review, useful as always.
My G44 has just over 9k rounds now. It still looks new. I will check the striker guide but I didn't notice anything when I cleaned it last.
Just bought a TX22 and so far my wife and I like it a lot. My first Taurus, bought it based on both you and Paul Harrell saying it was worth the money.
That said, it cost 300 bucks last month. I paid only another 75 bucks for my G44 the week they came out.
Trigger is way better, I mean WAY BETTER in the TX even with the Glock being modded by a two pound connector. Which lowers the trigger to five and a half pounds. Haven't measured the TX . Straight from the box it's pull is so light I've accidentally doubled.
We have 400 rounds on the TX and only had a couple failures to feed on the second magazine. By the third time we loaded up it was fine.
Have had 4 failures to fire lately, but they were all from one box of Armscor. Failed in the Glock, then failed when I tried them again in the TX... Now that's a dud.
Surprised you like the Smith 22 compact. We bought one as a trainer and the barrel was too tight, it shredded the bullets. It was hard to clean because that ejector gets in the way. Final straw was at 4-5K rounds the firing pin broke, the rebound spring broke. We NEVER dry fired the pistol, that was from use only.
And as to accuracy, the Glock shoots rings around the Smith.
Same ammo, same day, same shooters and we got 3 inch groups from the Smith, 2 inch groups from the Glock, 1.6 inch groups from the TX.
Of course my barrel Ruger puts them all in a one inch ring, but that's not a fair comparison accurized, custom grips sight and a two lb trigger pull on the Ruger.
Keep up the good work.
you can buy a metal sleeve. lasts forever.
Nice shooting partner!
I also am a proud owner of a G44!! She’s nine months old. I put about 5k rounds in her( she’s a trooper eh!) I had zero problems. She shows no wear at all. The best 22 by FAR!
Peace brother and sister !she also eats up subsonics even better I swear!
She used to run great wet, but now I don’t use hardly any lube and she’s just fine. Mine eats everything but loves Golden bullets and Stingers best. She hisses after every stinger and shoots a nice smelling puff of gun smoke my way.
I freaking love it!
Thats a lot of rounds! Its taken me a while to even put 1100 through mine but thats impressive. Makes me feel better about my purchase.
Recently got one of these and after 1000 rds there's been not one issue. Great pistol!!
When I first bought my 44 I shot it brand new right out of the box, an entire box off Federal Range Pack 40 grain (800 rounds) and had no malfunction. After that I shot majority of Golden bullets box, and I think I had only 2 failure to feed but multiple failure to ejects. Ended the Day with over 1000 rounds shot. Maybe with a little more breaking in and oil it'll run flawless with the trash golden bullets. I swear my finger tips were black after I nearly finished the golden bullet box.
Dude, you and dudette are so badass with that 44.
Yes. I have a video on them.
My 44 is one of my favorite 22lr guns i own the only ammo I cant run is 40grain sub sonic ammo
This was super helpful to affirm glock 44 should be my next purchase. I liked the format of your video and getting to see it run under different courses.
Definitely my most reliable semi!! Love your reviews.Almost 10,000 downrange in mine!!
Mine is darn accurate and so fast and light that ive almost considered carrying it.
I watched a lot of different video rw iews on the G44 and you by far have the best video review, you even showed a whole training course with the gun, under different scenarios with different ammo and the G44 ran just fine. You guys are awesome, I am more confident in my purchase 😎👌🏽.
It is great to hear the G44 works well for you.
It will be interesting if you can try to get several more aftermarket mags and test them for reliability. The limited (for these days) capacity is one of the Achilles heels for the G44.
I'm a little late to this party but good video never the less.. Love how you've been able to integrate the 44 into your practice and training.. Just bought my 44 gonna do the same..🤔👍👍
makes me very pleased about my recent purchase of the G44 a few days ago!
Great video and review of that G44. Really like mine and its reliable other than not really liking the 36 gr ammo. On another note. Would really like to see your wife wear safety glasses when shooting. Ya only got one set of peepers.
I noticed that some of the rounds have a pretty good amount of smoke. Others not so much.
I have bought a G44 recently and I´m very happy with it. Fun to shoot, even for beginners fast follow up shots are possible. I have a Promag magazine, but it breaks my fingertips attempting to put more than 15 rounds in. The original magazines are fine, but 10 rounds is not a lot.
The only modification is the Ghost connector as the trigger came quite scratchy from factory. I guess it would wear in just fine.
Please consider uploading to alternate platforms.
...just bought a 44 then your review popped up. Glad to hear your positive, long term review of the 44. I haven't been to the range yet to fire it. I definitely want some of the 18 rd Promags; not sure if they're available on the market...
I have just acquired one. I am going to the range today. I am excited.
Loved watching your lady run the G44 great review man nice to see a high round count example.
Late to the party, but that's some damn fine shootin' by both of you, nice reloads too. I have a G44 as well, nowhere near as many rounds through it, but I love it. It's set up just like yours except I run the green Ameriglo front fiber optic and use the stock adjustable rears.
I just bought a new Glock 44.
Very reliable so far. Really fun to shoot. Great video!!!
I love my Glock 44 just picked one up. Even tho people are trash talking them. It's been great for me 1k rounds so far not 1 problem
Yup. There was a lot of hullabaloo about the unreliability of the 44, but as far as I have been able to see, it seems as if this had more to do with how you held the gun than the gun itself. Some people found they had problems when they pressed the magazine upwards with the pinky finger. Me, I have never had any problems apart from my 44 not liking all kinds of ammo, but that is easily resolved by buying the brand of ammo that it likes and not have any issues whatsoever. Fun gun!
As you know, I have the Taurus TX22 and love it. Lately, Ive been having some malfunctions. I wanna say they are ammo related. Or at least want to pin it on that. When I first got the TX22, it ate up everything. Now its getting picky on me. Gave it a gooood thourough cleaning. Its not really bad. But its having a hiccup here and there. Good video on the G44. Gonna have to get me one. 🇺🇸
Make sure your magazines are clean. TX22 magazines In my experience are a little more sensitive to being dirty. I still love the tx22, but if you shoot Glocks I think the g44 is the better trainer. I've never cleaned the g44 magazines after all these rounds.
@@n8sguntalk thats something I did. Clean the mags. Would you recommend some dry lubricant for the mags? Thanks for the advice. You have always been my go to for the TX22 and weapon lights. Lol. I might just have to get me the G44...
@@DesertTacticalthey shouldn't need the dry lube to function...
@@n8sguntalk copy that. Havent taken it out since I cleaned the TX22 and the mags. We'll see on the next outing.
What a great video, very detailed and quality review. Thank you!
Liked my G44 so much I bought another! A great view I'm glad glock did this gun. Cheers!
Great video! Watched the entire thing and found it informative, and entertaining. Good stuff ✊🏾
The firing pin lug broke completely off of my G44 at around 7000RDS. My plastic firing pin sleeve slot was curled forward, and elongated about .040". My gun looks more worn than yours, particularly the underside of the barrel, it it has a new striker assembly with 500rds through it, so I'm not even to 8K yet. I bought mine in January when they first appeared in stores. Before it broke, it ran reliably with all types of ammo. I'm surprised your gun went through 21K rounds without a mechanical failure of some type. You must have gotten a really good example.
Mine also is a very early model. I purchased it a few days after they announced the release. Its still going strong, but I'm curious how far it will go? Ive done less maintenance to this gun then any I've ever oweded. I also now have access to a second G44 it has 1000 rounds through it so far. Thanks for watching
@@n8sguntalk Mine now has G19 night sights, 3.5lb connector, and a 4.5lb striker spring. I just got a new threaded barrel, but haven't tried it yet. I have been shooting trouble free with the new spring/connector, The trigger pull average is 4lbs. I will try the new barrel this weekend. I really like my G44, it is totally fun to shoot. I wish Glock would produce 15rd mags for it... That is my only big complaint. I clean, and lube mine after every range session, so maybe that's what I'm doing wrong... I'm kidding. I ran 1250rds through mine in one 3hr range session, and at that point, it started keyholing rounds, so I quit. I was getting tired anyway, but it was a fun time. Enjoy your G44's!
@@clutchcargo1239 Sounds like a good setup. I have a set of ameriglo G19 sights on mine, other than that it is completely stock. I shoot a lot of Glocks so I'm ok with the stock trigger. I would like to have a threaded barrel also to run it supresed. Promag makes a 18rd magazine that I've had good luck with but others haven't. Mine has been flawless. I generally clean mine when it stops working lol haven't had any keyhole issues yet 🤷♂️
I use 4 Pro Mags and 2 Glock mags. I load the Pro Mags using something like a long nail to load them. I put the nail just under the follower and load no more than 15 rounds depending on training. I have had no failures since doing this.
Think I still prefer the gun that started it all, Taurus TX22. But, it's just my opinion. By the way I also have a Glock 19 and 26. So I like the Glock but, I prefer the TX22. Thanks for your videos and all the work. It is appreciated.
God Bless (us all)
Tx22 is a far better plinker. G44 is better if your looking for a 22 trainer and shoot Glocks already. Also I think the Smith & Wesson m&p 22 compact started it all, for me anyways. It was the first 22 trainer I actually took seriously. Thank's for watching
Thanks for watching
@@n8sguntalk Wasn't the Sig P250-22 the first one?
Either way, I have Glocks in every caliber (besides .45 GAP) so it would make sense for me to pick this one up.
Totally agree..great channel...mine has been bullet proof .way more than tx22..the SW compact is only competition..But I'll take the Glock!! Keep up the content.,
Do all I can to grow your channel!! You and Buffalo!!
Thanks. I appreciate that 👍
Maybe plinkster did get a bad one .I don't know..But everyone I know didn't..
Great vid and great gun.
I did not like it at first but then I found the ammo it likes and learned how to load the magazine.
.25 cent trigger job and a $13 ebay ghost thingie. Buffed everything to glass with dremel and flitz, cut 2 coils off the striker spring and polished a little curvature to the striker step.
Put good quality adjustable steel sights with tritium and a flat trigger. Thing is down to 2.75 lbs consistently and can hit whiffle balls at 25 yards till the cows come home
Has to be the coolest range ever!
Been waiting for this one..only have around ten thousand down mine .But same results.. always fires and great reliability..
Can't wait for the 30,,000 update
I think I need to add one of these to my collection. I have the tx22 as well but I carry a G19 so the g44 will be a great trainer.
G44 works nicely if you keep your grip away from the slide - gotta watch those high grips
Great video! Just bought my G44 today!
Great review and gun man. I only have issues with subsonics and federal ammo
Very helpful video! Thank you for uploading! Greetings from Canada.
So here’s a question to all of you, I heard this gun was blowing up at the slide, was this just a rumor or did Glock fix the problem
Love your channel man !! But I never get the update on new vids ..wonder why? Lol .Hope that g 44 is still going..I have buried mine in sand ,dirt ,mud water..and I can't believe how well it still performs ..I'm gonna get the Fn 502 next..have the tx22 and the swcompact..
I appreciate it. Make sure you have the notification turned to all.
Hello, I have a Glock44 myself. Super video I'm watching it for the 10th time 🤣Greetings from Germany.Good Job🇺🇸
Great vid but why don't yall run eye pro? I mean you have perscription glasses but she's just out there, cold as ice lol. I havent ran any for years but getting to the point of thinking I def should
She does some times. Just a bad habit honestly.
Great info!
Commenting for the algorithm, I also wanted to let you know that you’re severely shadowbanned on TH-cam because I’m subscribed to you and had a hard time finding your channel when searching for it.
Thanks I appreciate it. Unfortunately that doesn't surprise me....that must mean I'm doing something right lol
Great video on the Glock 44, thank you..
I absolutely love my Glock 44, great little gun and fun to shoot. It is also very reliable, for new purchasers I would suggest cleaning it before you shoot it and each time you shoot it through the 1st 300 rounds. It worked great for me. I will never sell this gun.
Thanks for watching. For me this is just used as a trainer so it gets cleaned when it stops for running lol
Good job
You got a good one. Mine FTEs on every 3rd round.
I bet you’re scared of the boogie man
Great video! Thanks.
Maaannnnn.............you're fast (Your wife is faster than me......lol)
I guess practice makes perfect !!! Subbed
Well done. I learned a lot.
💥Got over 35,000 thru mine! Love it for "dry fire with LIVE ammo!"😝... Since I daily carry a G23!😈
Great review.
Congratulations on your shooting skills! Nice video! Purchased 44 a few days. ago .... At the moment I can say I'm satisfied. I would like your advice please .... I leave the copper paste so where Mum Glock applied it? (Considering that in the same points where the copper paste is applied the manual advises to put a drop of oil ...) Thank you all. Greetings from Italy
I usually leave the copper paste and let it wear off on its own. After that I apply my own lube as needed. Thanks for watching
I put a metal striker sleeve in . works fantastic
Mines still going strong, 24k+. If I ever have a problem I'll upgrade to a metal sleeve. Thanks for watching.
@@n8sguntalk I love my g44 so much that ive almost thought of carrying it instead of my shield. its so damn light and the groups are hilariously small. I also have my glock 34 for competition but thats wayyy too big to carry. the g44 is a tempting carry gun, especially with some cci stingers or something in it.
I like the new sites you put on the Glock 44 by why would you need a tactical light on a .22?
Great vid, you guys are good shots!
I own a G44. Do you know of or can recommend any *quality* mags for the G44 that hold more than 10 rounds? I bought a promag that holds 18 rounds and one of the knobs snapped off after loading it just a couple times.
I've had good luck with my promag so that's the only one I can currently recommend other than the factory. I would contact promag and they will send you a new one. Thanks for watching
I have 2 Pro Mags and they misfeed 1/2 the time... very dissatisfied with them.
You’re pretty amazing I’m like wow!!
😊
Do you ever have a problem with lead build up in your barrel? I only use cooper plated ammo and after 3 or 400 rounds is pretty much done.i have to go home and cleaned. that's been my only issue. Great video God bless and stay safe.
Never had a problem with that, but I've herd some people have. I've shot mine thousands of time with no maintenance never had a issue.
Tank you.for the info.i only have about 4000 rounds so far. still a lot of fun to take to the range I will keep shooting it and see what happens I have to keep an eye on it it's my favorite gun to take to the range thank you again and I appreciate your help
Good videos. Subbed
Thank you. I do appreciate it.
They have a metal replacement
Boringly reliable. Good shoot. Good video. Good gun.

The TX22 is hard to beat and that's on multiple accounts..
I would agree. But my tx22 has already had a extractor, striker and barrel all to fail..But my G44 is still going with no parts replaced 🤷♂️
@@n8sguntalk That's the reason why I picked the G44 over the TX22 . I'm sorry but Taurus isn't made as well as the Glock and replacing parts is a pain when you have to send it back to get it fixed unlike Glock you can buy the parts and fix it yourself IF needed . I stop buying Taurus years ago after owning many models and still own 6 & 2 of them are revolvers that are 30 yrs old . Great review
Apparently you have a unicorn - a Glock 44 that actually runs!!
Well I also have access to a second G44 thay has about 1k down range so far and has been just as reliable as mine 🤷♂️
I’ve dumped mine in mud and sand and am very happy with it
Did Taurus fix your tx22? Are you still using tx22?
th-cam.com/video/Fih3ROB6QTw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vS0auiuQVn8um-4A
How do you find the accuracy on that Glock 44 some say it’s not true?
It's far more accurate than most shooters will be. I believe there is a quick accuracy test in the shooting footage at the end of this video.
What sights are you using? Because I am worried that a metal rear would crack the polymer.
th-cam.com/video/jR6IswwxLg4/w-d-xo.html
How the round count coming.Im at about 12,000.it hasn't had a single malfunction of any kind in probably over a thousand rounds that want Walmart ammo related. I'm interested in the fn 502..
I'm at just over 27k. I plan to do a update video at 30k.
So did you have bulk ammo FTLs at first and you don’t now in G44?
Yes, but even then it was rare. Thanks for watching
It seems like you both shoot with both eyes open. Am I seeing that correctly?
Your are correct
Isn't that the level you'd need to take a Glock down to clean it? (the striker channel and spring) On gun videos all they ever do is take the slide off then the barrel and recoil spring.
Normally no, a basic field strip is enough for cleaning
@@n8sguntalk I've just always wanted a Glock. Definitely don't need one, just like the looks of them mechanically.

Do you ever train with the Pro Mag with 18 rounds or just keep it consistent with ten rounds like the G mags?
